IATF 16949:2016 is the global automotive quality standard — and the entry ticket to supplying every major Indian and global Tier-1 OEM. Wistwin ships with all 10 clauses pre-mapped plus AIAG Core Tools (FMEA, MSA, SPC, APQP, PPAP) running live on your plant data. PPAP submission cycle compresses from 3 weeks to 2 hours.
IATF 16949:2016 has 10 clauses (Context of Organisation, Leadership, Planning, Support, Operation, Performance Evaluation, Improvement + automotive extensions). Plus customer-specific requirements (CSRs) from each OEM. Certification body audits annually; OEMs audit quarterly.
FMEA (Failure Modes & Effects), MSA (Measurement System Analysis), SPC (Statistical Process Control), APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning), PPAP (Production Part Approval Process). These five run continuously in Wistwin — not as spreadsheets, but as live plant intelligence.
Each major Indian Tier-1 OEM has its own supplier-quality portal. Wistwin pre-maps each OEM's evidence template + data push API. One source of plant data, multiple buyer views. Quarterly audit prep compresses from 3 days to 3 hours.
The plant Quality Head, the Customer Quality Engineer, and the Supplier Quality Manager carry the IATF + OEM-audit load. Annual IATF surveillance is the easier part; the quarterly Tier-1 OEM customer audits are what kill your weekends. Wistwin makes both audits run from the same plant data.
// THE PAIN
Three PPAP submissions to three OEMs running in parallel. Each demands its own template. IATF surveillance audit next month, and the FMEA library hasn't been updated since the last new product launch. SPC charts on paper. MSA studies done annually — auditor will want the latest. One bad audit pause means a supply contract pause, then a market-share loss to a competitor.
// SUCCESS METRICS
Typical pilot deployment — 6 to 10 weeks from kickoff to first IATF surveillance + OEM portal-aligned data feed. We don't replace your CNCs — we observe them and stream the live twin.
